Ovarian
cysts and uterine fibroids have been troubling women
since time immemorial. Indian Ayurvedic herbal
medications and Chinese herbal products that reportedly
cure this disease condition date back to 327 BC or even
earlier. Celebrated Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was
believed to have been affected by sporadic episodes of
cystic pain during her much controversial reign.
Though
benign (non-cancerous) in nature, ovarian cyst can cause
severe pain along with associated discomforts in women
of all ages (including menopausal females). Sometimes
laparoscopic surgery may provide temporary relief but
there is no guarantee that cysts will not reappear after
sometime. As far as modern medicine is concerned, there
is no medication available till today that can cure
ovarian cysts.
Herbal
treatment or herb remedies may help to eliminate ovarian
cysts,
if administered correctly. As a matter of fact, the
treatment of ovarian cysts appears pretty complex as it
involves certain factors that prove difficult to
control. For instance, many believe that genetic factors
are highly involved with this distressing disease
condition while the effects of genetic surgery or
alteration are still not within our grasp. Secondly, the
liver, or rather an unhealthy organ like the liver may
itself require herbal medications to cure effectively.
And then there is the question of diet, which greatly
varies from continent to continent. Just because
Zimbabwean women do not suffer greatly from ovarian
cyst, it may be catastrophic to tell a North American
woman to opt for Zimbabwean cuisine as a probable course
of cure of her ovarian cysts.
Turning
to herbal treatment of ovarian cyst or at least the symptoms related to it, many
believe in the effectiveness of a Native American plant
known as Black Cohosh. This herb, also otherwise known
as black snakeroot, rattleweed, rattletop, bugbane and a
few others are found in certain parts of
However,
here is a herbal concoction for treatment of ovarian
cyst that is available in capsule form and may be tried
by women of all ages as it is believed to harbor no side
effects. The combination medication is supposed to be
taken twice daily from the second week of the menstrual
cycle till the beginning of the next cycle and consist
of 2 capsules of black cohosh, 2 capsules of dandelion
root, 3 capsules of vitex, 2 capsules of black haw, 1
capsule of pau d’ arco, 1 capsule of chaparral and 1
capsule of bee pollen.
The
herbal treatment also includes another combination that
may be taken from the beginning of menstruation to the
second week of the cycle and consist of 3 capsules of
milk thistle, 3 capsules of blue cohosh, 3 capsules of
black cohosh, 2 capsules of wild yam, 1 capsule of
yarrow, 1 capsule of chaparral and 1 capsule of bee
pollen – also twice a day.
Herbal
remedies work best for ovarian cysts
when they are combined with the holistic approach. The
fact is, ovarian cysts can occur due to many reasons,
and since the holistic approach treats the body as a
whole; it can go deep within and identify all the
causes. The holistic approach is not just about
medicines, but it is actually about both physical and
mental well being. It shows how to change the diet and
the lifestyle for healthy living so that not only can
the cyst be cured, but it never comes back
again.
